Suggestion for a tutorial paper

 

Mr. Liberzon,

I am just spending some of my free time with Spider©. I find your demo (which has only activity limitation) very good and manual in English is quite detailed. I have a humble suggestion; if you can prepare a basic tutorial pdf , it would be very great for new starters to study software and people will not afraid from spending a quite time to a new software. Something like creating a project, create&assign codes, relations and resources, scheduling, etc. etc. as tutorials will be great if you can supply with demo. It will also help advertising.

Wouldn't it be good if... ?

... if you could directly CTRL+C activities from one project and CTRL+V to other project?

That would save many clicks.

... if you had one Formula Bar like the one in Excel?

In that way, When positioning over a 5-Width cell you could see the complete description without having to change the information panel's size each time you wanted to see more Gantt.  http://www.screenr.com/Lrw

... if you could compare more than one schedule to the current project?

Material Breakdown Structure in Material Gantt

Hi Vladimir,

I am using the import of project data from CSV files. Everything goes fine, but I want to group also the materials basing on their type in the Material Gantt. It is very helpful and I want to use this feature.

I didn’t find any CSV file which can help me to transfer the data like WBS or OBS. Is there a simple way to group the materials using CSV files ?

Best regards,

Augustin

Available (Free) Partial Workload Distribution

I am looking for a way to display on a diagram the values of available resource workloads distribution. For example by looking at the following table we will see that for Day 3 or D3 that there are 2 resources A available 100 of their time, 2 resources A available 50% of their time and 2 available 25% of their time. Image removed.

New/Enhanced Activity Types

I respectfully would like to ask for a new functionality to enhance Hammocks and to create a new activity type to be called Group Activity as follows:

1-Group Activity: All its members would be summarized similar to the typical WBS activity type but not by using WBS Phases but its own Group that can include activities with different WBS from different WBS Dictionaries, in addition you would be able to add predecessor and successor links to the Group Activity.

Automating the Printing of Report Groups

I am trying to create a Script that will create a group of PDF Tabloid Reports based on Gantt View. But in my attempt the script recorder did not recorded some of the necessary steps. I could select My Layout Template and my Print Templates the print command was not recorded. Perhaps there is a command but is not listed under Spider Help.

Any suggestions will be welcomed. I need to make all printouts in similar format, and this includes the PDF printer settings and Report PDF names.

Correcting actual dates

Good day,

After entering actuals for an activity, a finish date is wrong: the activity is not finished but it got an actual finish date assigned. I tried to correct this by going to the performance archive and deleting the finish date, but the field can not be left blank.

How can I correct the activity's status to "Not finished"?

Thanks, best regards.

Carlos.
